Abstract
The use of the o-(4-chlorobenzoyl) hydroquinine as an additive in the enzymatic transesterification in the presence of Candida rugosa lipase (CRL) of a planar chiral molecule, such as 2-hydroxymethyl-1-phenylthioferrocene, shows a large enhancement of the reactivity and selectivity of this lipase towards this primary alcohol. An E-value of 143 could be reached at 53% conversion with vinyl acetate as the acylating agent in toluene.
